Truckers Strike 2008: Thieves At Work

It’s been way too long since I’ve been able to post about the truckers.

Truck drivers face new threat due to diesel fuel prices – May 6th, 2008

Gas prices are on the rise again which is a disturbing sight for drivers in St. Louis. On Tuesday, prices at many stations across St. Louis spiked another 15 to 20 cents a gallon to about $3.69. The price of diesel is even higher at more than $4 a gallon.

This is a news report video I can’t embed.

It reports on how truckers are being ripped off by others toting electric siphons(!). They can steal over a hundred gallons of diesel fuel in less time than it takes to use a restroom!

One detail: It also reports diesel fuel rising in that local area to over $4.00/gallon. Here in NYC, diesel has been $4.69/gallon for at least the past month!

God bless the American trucker!
